Seto's POV

I sat up in my bed, shivering. Living next to the Snow Kingdom sure had some pretty bad cons, like freezing weather. I usually had a shield around my tree to protect it from the freezing weather, but sometimes it faltered.

Even with freezing weather and slightly annoying snow golems, there's one thing in this kingdom that will always keep me in range.

Princess Olivia.

I was crazy about the princess. She was amazing in every way. Her smile, her eyes, her laugh.

In a way, it was kind of ironic that I fell in love with the princess (soon to be queen) of the Snow Kingdom. Not long ago, I would play pranks on the golems that lived there, and, when I was low on food or supplies, steal from them. Now, I had fallen head-over-heels, or in my case, head-over-hightops, for the princess.

It wouldn't take long for her to figure out who I was, either. I had told her my name, but not much after that. There were wanted posters all over the kingdom. Wanted posters with my face on them.

When she finds out, I am done for. Screwed over. It's a miracle she hasn't found out yet. I plan to keep it that way. Even if she does find out, I'm not planning on having one stupid wanted poster ruin my chances with the only girl I was sure I loved.

I flopped back down in my bed, and stared at the wooden ceiling. I listened to my Nether portal, and my brewing stations whirring at top speed. I sighed in exasperation. I haven't been able to get into the kingdom since they started doubling enforcements. It's been a long year without Olivia.

I sit up ubruptly, now knowing what I am going to do.

I fly up to my magic room and take a seat at my desk, pulling out a blank sheet of paper and a pen. I start to sketch the words.

Olivia's POV

I stare out the window of my room in my icy castle, thinking about the mysterious boy who I ran into one year ago. Seto. I can still picture him clearly in my head, the same way one can picture fresh snow on top of a mountain.

I turn my head, and my eyes instantly drop on my princess tiara, and I sigh. Two months until I am queen of the Snow Kingdom. I need to do something in two months. My mother always told me that queens are always needed in the castle. She was barely allowed to go anywhere.

That is why I must go.

I want, no, I need to escape this kingdom and have one last adventure. One last adventure out in the open world until I have to be locked inside these walls for Notch knows how long. Who knows the next time I'll get to see freshly fallen snow covering the world like a soft, shimmering blanket.

Who knows the next time I'll get to see the bright blue sky, as blue as the ocean. Who knows when I'll get to see the shining sun, or the fluffy white clouds.

I've been in my mother's room since she died. The place has an air of grimness. The windows have ice shutters drawn tight, covering the outside world. The lights glow, but only dimly, for they would hurt my mother's eyes, they claimed.

That is why I must go. If I stay, I know I will regret it for the rest of my life.

A flame of hope lights inside of me. And maybe, just maybe...

I would get to see Seto one last time.
